A PARTRIDGE AND ROOSTERS ETCHING BY MARC CHAGALL

Marc Chagall (Russian-French, 1887-1985) original etching titled The Partridge and the Roosters, 1952 from The Fables of Jean de La Fontaine, Volume II. Signed in pencil by the artist lower right. Marc Chagall’s dreamlike compositions depict aspects of the artist’s personal and family histories, and those of Eastern European folklore at large. Flying figures, elements of Jewish tradition, peasant life, and animals are frequent motifs. Chagall’s practice - which spanned painting, printmaking, books, ceramics, and stained glass - was immensely influential in the development of 20th-century art. His supernatural subjects and emotional gestures bridged the work of earlier avant-garde movements such as cubism, fauvism, and symbolism with later modernist styles such as surrealism.

Dimensions: Paper 15 1/4" x 12" in. All measurements are approximate
